Feudo Antico, Italy

Starting from the 2013 vintage, all wines are Magis certified, the most advanced project for the sustainability of wine production in Italy. Currently their 15 hectares are cultivated using native varieties producing limited yields to ensure quality is retained. Clearly they highly value the land they work and this attitude is continued in the winery where the fruit and wine come into contact with no wood whatsoever, only concrete and glass. This guarantees the purity of the fruit, and its flavours, are conveyed from the vineyard direct to the glass.

Viticulture

In 2013, during the preparation of the soil for the first replanting of Pecorino, the ruins of a Roman villa rustica came to light. Since then, Feudo Antico remain committed to protect and revive the area. They have identified the land intended for vineyards by carefully considering its climatic location and the best production prospects combined with carefully selected grape varieties with a particular focus on Pecorina and Passerina as well as in Montepulciano vineyards in the Tullum area.

Winemaking

Only organic or low environmental impact winemaking techniques are used and wines are matured in glass-concrete containers and bottled in the cellar, with the exception of Reserve wines, to ensure thermal stability without resorting to refrigeration, and to allow the wine to express its natural qualities without coming into contact with wood. Only wild fermentation is used for the organic wines with minimal processing and no filtering.
